Things to get with 2PP

[Morag the Gatherer]

Reading up on what you can get for free by spending 2 prestige points, its clear the idea was to let low level casters get wands to make themselves and the party a little more durable.
But I also see that non-spell casters can use this to upgrade themselves more quickly.
For example my 2nd level Paladin just got his magic sword and doesn't yet have MW armor because I didn't read close enough. He does have a wand of CLW that has been very useful.
Now my 1st level elf rogue can get leaf armor (500 gp) for 2 PP while spending 365 gp to make her elven curved sword MW and not have to wait till the middle of 2nd level.

Other than the 750 gp limit, no enchanted items and a few other restrictions like dragon hide. What other kinds of stuff can non-spell casters get that will be worthwhile.

Also, It doesn't say you can only do this once. Can you use this more often?

You can use your 2PP as many time as you want as long as you have the prestige to spend.
Also, I'm fairly certain that these purchases aren't limited in the same way gold purchases are. So, any item that costs less than 750gp can be acquired for 2PP including dragon hide.

Per the guid you can use as many times as you want as long as you have the pretige to spend but you are limited to only being able to use it once per scenario.

[Nimrandir]

Many players have the expectation that your first two Prestige are spent on a wand of cure light wounds or infernal healing, so that you contributing to your parties' healing resources in every scenario.

[Nefreet]

You can only get one such item for free per Chronicle, though.

Although the restriction doesn't matter all that much in practice.

Aside from level 1 wands? Here are a few suggestions:

Darkwood composite longbow with a +3 str bonus

Potion of Fly

Oil of Daylight

Snapleaf

Vial of Efficacious Medicine

Scroll with 5 Lesser Restoration casts

750 gold worth of diamond dust so that the friendly local caster can cast stoneskin or most of a level-drain repairing restoration on you.

And if your stength is only +2 _ a mw greenwood long comp bow str +2

or a combat trained tiger

or a combat trained riding dire bat - but at 450gp perhaps a waste of 2pp

I don't believe this is an option, though I could be mistaken. Everything purchased with PA is considered to have a value of 0gp, and you can only purchase a single item. A speck of dust...

On the other hand, this would be nice in a variety of ways, so I'd love to be wrong (for once).

This was my first inclination when I read that one too...ETV

The item purchased with 2 PP has 0 gp value only for selling purposes. That means you can't sell the item for gold. Other than that, the item functions as it would if you bought it with gold. That includes diamond dusts or whatever that has a buying value equal to that 750 gp.

Actually, while I believe that to be the *point* of the statement, that's not what it says:

Once per session, you can acquire any single item of this cost or less from your faction by spending the appropriate number of Prestige Points. Items purchased this way are worth 0 gp and cannot be sold.

Additionally, there's still the issue of only being able to purchase a single item.

Edit: LINK to previous discussion on the topic. Nothing more decided but some extra considerations mentioned.

Editx2: Again, I'd like to be wrong. This would allow others to contribute 2PA towards a Raise Dead gold cost (not PA) by supplying part of the material component.

Editx3: I think we've side-tracked the thread enough - will continue over in the other one. Meanwhile, here is a LINK to an older thread on the same topic as this (and nearly the same title).
